The trick is to use itch for an easily accessible early build, then transition to Steam / mobile stores once you have monetization in place.

Compiling a web app takes seconds as well. The common complaint is the resources needed to run the app as a consumer, particularly when most of the apps you use are all instances of chromium.

The actual status quo is Big Tech & ISP lobbyists having their way with any government intervention or lack thereof.

And if anyone's interested in this extension, you may also like this one: https://www.trackmenot.io/ It sends bogus search requests in the background. And it seems like it works as intended, as the extension is banned

I've been using the extension on Firefox for years. Their browser context menu for blocking individual HTML elements has been really handy for the more aggressive AD-heavy sites, though I sometimes miss uMatrix's fine-grained cont

Sometimes you start off with a budget of $1k in the outskirts of town and have to just do with what your options are to be a functional member of society. I was able to do my due diligence and bought an old Volvo, and we knew a mechanic who

Not to mention that if you do decide on an old and affordable car, it's offset by the price of its constant repairs and the anxiety that it could break down again at any moment.

I have to admit, like others in this comment section, I was searching for ways to automate ensuring our team's written SQL code is working, whether that's by their technical or business logic requirement. But there's a lot of

My only complaint is that the switch to Wireplumber caused a lot of audio issues on my machine until I reverted back to PulseAudio. I could also see people not wanting Wayland by default, though that has been working fine for me and the sof

That's true, but it'd be even simpler to implement a node in x language that can communicate with Erlang/OTP, and let Erlang work its fault-tolerant and scalable magic.

This is just a tongue-in-cheek response that I have no stock in, but I find it funny that the page says "You don't have to reinvent the wheel" after they rewrite Erlang processes in another language.

As an avid inline-skater, another con to inlines is that they can be quite the hassle to put on and take off. And when going inside a building, you have to stuff them in a large enough bag or tote them around. If you're using them to g

Really? I was curious about how it could be used to help solve the Advent of Code. For day 1, I queried, "Write a Rust program that takes in a text file with integers delimited with line breaks and adds them up." which gave me run

Keeping salaries public in an industry lets you use them as a negotiating datapoint anywhere in that industry. Not too related to the discussion, but I'm really hoping Twitch moderators start asking for a paycheck once their streamer&#

Python's already the main contender for AI/ML, so I don't think anyone's arguing that python is too slow for serious work. But it still makes you wonder if their AI/ML would be more performant in Lisp. And of course

Yeah, I would be more surprised if it wasn't in Python, considering HuggingFace is an AI/ML company.

Huh, I've been using privacy.com and had no idea about this. Thanks! Keeping the blast radius of leaked billing info to privacy.com instead of a myriad of merchants sounds like a good deal.

Not sure how an excerpt from an early 1900's German book debating the merits of unbridled democracy has anything to do with today's literacy of the Third Estate.

I'd also highly recommend watching The Bit Player documentary. Not as info-dense as an article or paper, but it's a fun ride.

I think that's just the downside of 1Password/Bitwarden's business model. The best they can do is explain the core features on the splash page, as you'd need a valid account to actually use the app in the first place. Ke

I'm really not sure what you're looking at, but on 1Password's mobile site there's a huge button to download from your phone's store on the homepage. The "Try 1Password FREE" button takes you to a well lai

Yeah, my Windows machine was able to run that command just fine. Maybe one of the newer commits broke something? I think I cloned it when b91816301fa62df239a45336b381ee918ff52b2a was the latest, but I'll have to check when I get home.

The entire US is built around cars so I don't think you'd be exposed to a different way of living in that aspect, unless you're a brave American tourist visiting Chicago/NYC willing to learn and use the subway.

Visiting Chicago and NYC were what woke me up to it. Those places are the closest you can get to a car-free lifestyle here. Yet they're still very pedestrian and bike-hostile areas.

There's also a fork that requires a lot less VRAM. I was able to get this working with an Nvidia GTX 1070. https://github.com/basujindal/stable-diffusion You'd clone the fork, then download Stability AI'
